Quilter. Writer. Artist
While I was sick with the flu last week, I somehow managed to do a little sewing. I’m teaching a couple of curves classes in the coming months and decided to make a small quilt specifically for this class. Wanting to really show off the lines, I started out with red and white. After sewing […]
I have been battling the flu. Well, perhaps it’s Covid, but that’s not what I was exposed to. At the beginning I had no idea that I’d been exposed to anything, except the beautiful Louisiana days that I raved about. Of course, those are also allergy days, so I assumed the congestion and other unpleasantness
If you’ve read this blog for any amount of time, you know that I am proud of my Cajun French roots and I love Louisiana and the Louisiana people. Mix all that up and you have a jambalaya of fun. We speak in English. Almost always. But we express ourselves in Cajun French. I have
I’m not sure how everyone else feels about our second month, but it seems that it flew by. Quickly. I suppose it has something to do with the cold. Everyone stayed home as much as possible. Trust me, when it’s cold in Louisiana, it’s truly cold. Being in the South doesn’t help much when the
I’m not sure when Dr. Seuss Day actually is, but Meme’s school is celebrating tomorrow. Of course, Dusti enlisted me to make a Sneetch costume. I did not even know there’s a book!

This exhibit features “work from local artists in the fields of Fabric Arts, Fine Arts and Photography – focusing on the theme ‘Impressions of Louisiana Nature’.”
Say hello to Rebecca Budde, one of our new quilty followers, who has a board just for string quilts. Yes, some of these will soon be on my “heart, quilts” board! A surprise for me, this board is almost at 14,000 pins. Though I imagine a few are duplicates. Next, these modern quilts are from
The Cotton Quilters are going strong! We have a new president, who is very laid-back. But we’re getting things done, because she’s game for almost anything someone suggests. How much fun is that? “Our fearless leader” lets us lead! Case in point: we had a sew-day, lunch, and meeting all in one day. And she
Don’t we all have that one friend? You know, the one who brings great joy and laughter into your life. But that same one has well defined reasons for everything. Imagine quilting for that one will tell you in a second where to get off, how to go and what to do when you get
